Finger Tip Shoulder Stretch

Welcome to February! This month’s WOW’s will focus on stretching out your shoulders. The shoulder area is a complex joint and contains essential muscles and ligaments, which can become tight and tense with excessive computer use. Try performing the stretch below if you start to develop tightness or tension in the shoulder area.

Exercise: Shoulder opener w/fingertip reach.

How to perform: Start by sitting or standing up tall. Reach your left arm above your head and then reach your right arm behind your back. Try to reach for your fingertips to stretch out your shoulders and chest.

Duration: Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and then switch to the other side. This stretches out your shoulder and chest.
